https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/trump-administration-wants-un-fire-nuclear-safety-workers-cant-figure-rcna192345 National Nuclear Security Administration officials on Friday attempted to notify some employees who had been let go the day before that they are now due to be reinstated — but they struggled to find them because they didn't have their new contact information.
In an email sent to employees at NNSA and obtained by NBC News, officials wrote, “The termination letters for some NNSA probationary employees are being rescinded, but we do not have a good way to get in touch with those personnel.”
The individuals the letter refers to had been fired on Thursday and lost access to their federal government email accounts. NNSA, which is within the Department of Energy and oversees the nation's nuclear stockpile, cannot reach these employees directly and is now asking recipients of the email, “Please work with your supervisors to send this information (once you get it) to people’s personal contact emails.”
The Department of Energy did not immediately respond to an NBC News request for comment.
President Donald Trump's administration has acted with unprecedented speed — and in some cases, questionable legality — in seeking to cut large portions of the federal government, laying off staff and ending contracts. But that speed has resulted in complications, including firing people agencies actually want to keep.
The emails come after multiple staff — all civil servants — at the NNSA received termination notices late Thursday, according to a source with direct knowledge of the notifications. NBC News reviewed the termination notification, which included the subject line: “Notification of Termination During Probationary/Trial Period.”
The NNSA is tasked with designing, building and overseeing the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile.

>>1384181 the problem is that Trump is being so impulsive about everything. Like, there is obviously a lot of government waste and a lot of things that need to be cut, but instead of figuring out what those things are before cutting them, they just impulsively cut things without even thinking about it.

>>1384229 The problem is Trump. Of course he's impulsive, of course he doesn't have a plan, of course he's just doing shit without thinking and breaking shit, that's what he does.
This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.
>>1384238 >>1384227 You guys take so much pride in being wrong. Not even "Oh, I don't agree with that" wrong, just saying things that are objectively the exact opposite of true.
This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone either.

You know what this reminds me of? When private equity takes over a company. The new bosses come in, only concerned with short-term profit, so gut everything, fire people at random, lower the quality of services/products, and generally makes everything worse. Those employees who remain now have double or triple the workload, but inertia keeps the company afloat and the profits increase relative to the expenses. The shareholders are happy and get to enjoy a nice sum for the first quarter, but within two years, everything has crashed and burned. This is basically what they're doing to the federal government.

>>1384482 >>1384483 It's more like they're going to cause a dip, then buy up pieces of the government to privatize on the cheap. You won't have taxes, you'll just have subscriptions instead. Sad thing about the way the modern economy is structured is that those who have the most and are the most responsible for creating economic turmoil are typically the one who benefit and gain the most from that turmoil, while normies who dindunuffin basically lose everything.

>>1384608 Only one doing mental gymnastics is you.
Between FOIA and the government website where all contract funding was posted, and updated nightly, USAID funding *ANYTHING* was and still is publicly available information. All of the spending they did can be tied back to legislation passed by congress.
Just because you were too lazy to file a FOIA or bother googling the information, doesn't make something a secret. It just makes you willfully ignorant.

>>1384628 >However, USAID's contracts for Starlink products are not yet fully paid out. It's unclear whether they will be, due to efforts by U.S. President Donald Trump and Musk — the Department of Government Efficiency head — to dismantle USAID. As of this writing, USAID has spent $484,604 on Starlink products and services through third-party contractors and terminated its only Starlink contract with SpaceX. Oh nice, he terminated his own USAID contract.
Looks like he is cleaning it up and not being biased.
But I know your EDS makes you crazy and unreasonable, so you won't admit this

>>1384627 To begin with, they're against any handouts on principle. Even if the handout is to your benefit (like throwing cheap shit at another country to undermine a group you don't like, make them dependent on you, and/or addicted to your products), it should be opposed as the government's job is not to render aid. Let private orgs do that. Government is just there to use the big stick.
Second, the rejection of soft power, which USAID was design to build. Allies don't exist, every nation is out to get the other, and the only form of coercion is through threats. There is no such thing as a positive-sum game geopolitically, somebody always has to lose.
Finally, it's follow the leader. Most people trust Trump more than they trust themselves. If Trump started trash talking the military, then most of his supporters would reason he's found a fire. If he doesn't disclose why he's railing against or defending whatever, they'll make their own reason. Trump is logical and just, ergo his actions must be logical and just. If he ever does trip up, it's due to deception/backstabbing. About the only time his followers ever broke with him was the pro-vax stuff, which caused Trump to back off.
